Happy Monday! I am back in my home office and ready to get back to [regular] work. My trip to Seattle + Portland was wonderful and I got to see so many of my favorite people. I had so many good meals and matchas.
On the last day of our trip I celebrated Wholesome’s 1 yr formal anniversary! It’s so crazy I’ve reached that milestone. It has been an insane ride. It just goes to show if you keep telling yourself something will work out, you will find a way to make exactly that happen. Thank you to everyone who has supported this journey and provided such kind words of encouragement <3
I have such a fun podcast episode for you today, check it out below!

Unbothered Foods is on a mission to take the worry and stress out of eating by creating foods that are not only packed with flavor, but leave your bellies feeling happy and unbothered.
